Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a package having a cover which does not easily slip off from the cups and allows only a minimal space between the lower edge of the cover's side panel and the cups. CONSTITUTION: The package comprises one and more cup-shaped containers 14 and covers for them for in several containers 14, inter-connected flanges 16 are arranged in one or more rows. The cover has a polygonal top panel 22 whose area is almost equal to that of the upper side of the containers 14. The top panel 22 is placed over the containers 14. The side panels 24, 26, 28, 30 are connected along upper fold lines 32, 34, 36, 38 to each side of the top panel 22. The angle between each edge of the side panels 24, 26, 28, 30 and the corresponding upper fold line is smaller than ninety degrees. From the top panel 22, each side panel extends downwardly and diagonally toward the containers 14.

2. Description of the Related Art A cup-shaped container made of a thermoplastic resin is often used for containing and shipping products such as yogurt. Such a cup-shaped container is usually provided with a flange protruding outward from its upper edge, and its opening is sealed with a sheet-like lid (for example, a metal foil or a plastic film) joined to the flange. Generally, a plurality of such cup-shaped containers are sold together. That is, the plurality of cup-shaped containers are usually connected to each other via the flange. Notches or cuts are provided at the boundaries between the cup-shaped containers to facilitate the separation of the cup-shaped containers.

Packaging of the type described above is described in US Pat. No. 3,6.
No. 75,764. The package disclosed in this patent is a plurality of cup-shaped containers connected to each other with a cover. The cover has side panels extending downwardly from its top panel and end panels also extending downwardly. In this package, corner flaps are used that connect the end panel to the adjacent side panel. The upper edge of the corner flap is arranged near the top panel. That is, when the cover is put on the cup-shaped container, the corner flaps engage with the lower surface of the flange of the cup-shaped container to fix the cover to the cup-shaped container.

The package of the aforementioned U.S. patent requires that the side panels be scored so that the corner flaps will successfully engage the flanges of the cup. is there. This crease line not only impairs the appearance of the package, but also complicates the packaging operation. Further, since the side panel and the end panel extend in the vertical direction, a large gap is formed between the lower end of these panels and the side surface of the cup-shaped container. Due to this gap, the cover is likely to be damaged when the package is handled (for example, at the time of shipping). That is, because of the gap, an object is easily caught on the lower edge of the side panel or the end panel.

As shown in FIG. 4, side panels 24, 28.
Extend obliquely downward from the top panel 22 in a direction toward the plurality of containers 14. (The side panels 26 and 30 also extend obliquely downward like the side panels 24 and 28.) Thus, the side panels 24 and 26 extend downward and inward of the cover 10. The circumference of the cover 10 along the lower edges of the covers 28, 30 is significantly smaller than the circumference of the upper surface of the assembly 12. Therefore, the cover 1
0 will not come off from the aggregate 12 carelessly. In other words, the aggregate 12 is formed along the entire circumference of the upper surface of the aggregate 12.
The flange 16 of is sandwiched between the top panel 22 and the side panels so that the cover 10 is fixed on the assembly 12. That is, the cover 10 can be attached to the assembly 12 without using an adhesive or the like, or without directly joining the cover 10 to the assembly 12 by some means. The cover 10 fixed to the assembly in this way
Keeps the assemblage covered for the protection of the container 14 beneath it throughout the delivery of the package until the package reaches the consumer. However, the container 14 (particularly the lid portion)
It is easy to intentionally remove the cover 10 without damaging the.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the packaged product of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the number of flanged containers included in the package may be one. The container is preferably formed by molding a thermoplastic material, but the container may be formed by using a material other than the thermoplastic material, for example, cardboard or metal (both molded). Good. Incidentally, each container may be provided with a detachable lid body (that is, a replacement lid that can close the opening of the container instead of the metal foil after peeling it off).
